TOILET-SEAT-COVER DISPENSING AND FORMING DEVICE.

Application filed February 13,1924.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY C. SOHROEDER. a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet- Seat-Cover Dispensing and Forming Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improved toilet seat cover dispensing and forming device.

The object of my invention is to provide a device of the above mentioned character,

, which will form a seat cover from the usual type of rolled toilet paper.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture.

In the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated:

Figure 1 is a plan view of my machine.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Figure 3 is a front elevation of the same.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the completed cover.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, my device is mounted in a U-shaped frame 1, which is adapted to be secured to the wall at a point convenient for use. A roll of paper 2 is iournaled in the frame 1 at the rear thereof. Feedrolls 3 and 4 are journaled in the frame 1 forwardly of the paper 2, and are corrugated or rubber covered to better grip the paper.

Apair of conical forming rolls 5 and 6 are journaled in the frame 1 forwardly of the rollers 3 and 1, in which the paper is given a circular shape. The paper feeds through the large end of the conical rollers faster than at the small end. 'The paper is fed into the forming rolls at a speed which conforms with the large end. Thus the lag at the small end causes the paper to crease and forms a ring as shown at 7 which is torn from the roll on the knife 8 and is placed upon the toilet seat.

The rolls 5 and 6 are geared together by gears 9 and 10, and are rotated by a handle Serial No. 692,450.

11 secured to the shaft of the roller 5. A gear 12 secured to the roller 5 meshes with an idler gear 13 which in turn meshes with a gear 14 secured to the roller 3. The rolls 3 and 4 are geared together by gears 15-15 secured thereto. It will be seen that the ro, tation of the crank 11 causes the rolls 5, 6, 3 and 4 to rotate and feed the paper from the roll 2 into the circular shape shown in Figure 4.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. A toilet seat cover dispenser comprising a frame, a roll of paper journaled in said frame, a pair of conical rollers mounted forwardly of said paper roll, and means to rotate said conical rollers.

2. A toilet seat cover dispenser comprising a frame, a roll of paper journaled in said frame, a pair ofconical rollers mounted forwardly of said paper roll, a crank secured to one of said rolls, and gears secured to each of said rolls and adapted to mesh.

3. A toilet seat cover dispenser comprising a frame, a roll of paper journaled in said frame, a pair of conical rollers mounted forwardly of said paper roll, means to rotate said conical rollers, and a pair of feed rolls mounted between said paper roll and said conical rolls.

1. A toilet seat cover dispenser comprising a frame, a roll of paper journaled in said frame, a pair of conical rollers mounted forwardly of said paper roll, means to rotate said conical rollers, a pair of feed rolls mounted between said paper roll and said conical rolls, a gear secured to one of said conical rolls, an idler gear meshing therewith, and a gear secured to one of said feed rolls meshing with said idler gear.

5. A toilet seat cover dispenser compris-
